Fly The Safer Skies

As many of you know, I’m not the happiest bunny when in a plane – which is of course mildly bizarre since I seem to spend so much time in them. Guess it’s either my ‘latent ‘masochistic tendencies or the realization that however painful the journey, the destination is generally always worth it.

So I guess it’s encouraging to see this video of a plane wing being stressed well beyond its operational limits… [Thanks to metafilter]
